profileCurve()

Parameters

curve (QgsCurve) –

setProject(self, project: QgsProject)

Sets the project associated with the profile.

This must be set before any layers which utilize terrain based elevation settings can be included in the canvas.

Parameters

enabled (bool) –

setTolerance(self, tolerance: float)

Sets the profile tolerance (in crs() units).

This value determines how far from the profileCurve() is appropriate for inclusion of results. For instance, when a profile is generated for a point vector layer this tolerance distance will dictate how far from the actual profile curve a point can reside within to be included in the results.
